Servo Stabilized RF Vernier Time-of-Flight Analyzer

Description: The analyzer can be operated either internally or externally. The 10 ma germanium discriminator is quiescently biased to 8.5 ma in its low-voltage state. An input signal current of 3.5 ma or more triggers it to its high voltage state. This triggers the oscillator. The oscillator signal is buffered and mixed in the bridge modulator with the reference radiofrequency signal from the cyclotron. The low-frequency beat note from the bridge modulator is squared up and passed to the beat zero univibrat… more

Gamma Ray Polymerization of Acrylamide in the Solid State

Description: The polymerization of vinyl monomers can be initiated by heat, ultraviolet radiation, and various catalysts. More recently, ionizing radiation has been shown to effectively initiate vinyl polymerization. However, polymerization in the solid state by ionizing radiation is not reported in the literature, although several papers have been published that describe briefly the thermal polymerization of divinyldiphenyl, Leuch's anhydride and in greater detail the peroxide catalyzed polymerization of a… more

On the Crystal Chemistry of Salt Hydrates, III. The Determination of the Crystal Structure of FeSO4·7H2O (Melanterite)*

Description: Monoclinic FeSO4·7H2O is the stable solid phase between -1.82° and 56.6° C in contact with a saturated water solution of FeSO4. It occurs in nature as an oxidation product of Fe-containing sulfides an is called melanterite. FeSO4·7H2O belongs to a series of compounds Me2+SO4·nH2O, where Mn2+ is a cation with an approximate ionic radius of 0.7Å. The 1-, 4- and 5-hydrates are known to crystalize each in only one form, whereas the hexa- and the heptahydrates occur both in two different forms. The … more

The Present Experimental and Theoretical Status of the Problem of Electron Ejection in the Alpha Decay of Po210

Description: The experimental measurements of electron ejection in Po210 decay are discussed, and the theory of the process is outlined. The order-of-magnitude discrepancy between theory and experiment which was evident a decade ago has not yet been definitively resolved. The discrepancy is ascribed to an inadequacy of the theory, in particular to the use of an asymptotic expansion in that theory. Brief mention is made of some very recent unpublished calculations by G. W. Schaefer in which a reasonable esti… more

Rare Gas Isotope Contents in Mineral Fractions of the Indarch Meteorite

Description: We have measured the rare gas isotopes in mineral concentrates of the Indarch meteorite. We obtained samples from C. Frondel, who crushed some of the meteorite into small particles mainly in the 44 to 88 micron size. He fractionated the minerals into groups according to specific gravity, using heavy liquids and magnetic techniques. The fraction with specific gravity less than 2.4 is approximately 95% tridymite and represents about 1% of the whole stone. The fraction with specific gravity betwee… more

On the Generation of an Arbitrarily Autocorrelated Sequence of Random Variables from a Sequence of Independent Random Numbers

Description: For a wide range of statistical experiments, we require a sequence of random variables [unintelligible], which have prescribed mean values μn and variances σn2, with a given autocorrelation ρt. The [unintelligible] are to be generated as a sequence of real functions of independent random numbers [unintelligible], each of which is uniformly distributed in. The reason for this choice of specification for the [unintelligible] is that most computers have standard subroutines which generate such uni… more

Preparation and Some Properties of Krypton Difluoride

Description: The compound KrF4 was prepared by Grosse et al. by passing an electric discharge through the elements at -196°C. Evidence for formation of KrF2 has been obtained by Pimental and Turner by UV irradiation of the elements frozen into an inert gas matrix at 20°K. Using an electron beam to irradiate krypton and fluorine at -150°C, we have prepared KrF2 in 100mg amounts and examined some of its properties.

The Rearrangement of Diphenyl

Description: We wish to report unequivocal evidence for the water promoted, aluminum chloride induced intramolecular rearrangement of the benzene rings in diphenyl. When diphenyl 1→1,1'-C14, prepared in 80% yield via an Ullmann reaction on iodobenzene-1-C1 14, was heated to 100° for 30 min. with 10 mole % of aluminum chloride and 1 mole % of water, the radioactivity, originally localized at the two connecting carbons had been randomly distributed. Recovered active diphenyl was also shown to be randomized wh… more

Interactions of High Energy Antiprotons in Hydrogen

Description: In the fall of 1961 an extensive program of investigation of high energy p-p interactions was begun at the Brookhaven AGS. The BNL 20" liquid hydrogen bubble chamber and an electrostatically separated beam were used to obtain a total (to date) of 300,000 exposure with about 15 antiprotons per pulse. The exposures were made at antiproton momenta of 3.25 Bev/c and 3.69 Bev/c in the laboratory. Approximately 80% of the exposures were made 3.69 Bev/c antiprotons. A wide variety of reactions occur i… more

Some Problems in the Interpretation of Exponential Experiments

Description: Buckling measurements at BNL have employed two experimental methods which in principle should yield identical results but in practice show a systematic and significant discrepancy. In this paper the experimental evidence of these errors is reviewed and their source is traced by means of theory to the radial flux transients which perturb the asymptotic neutron spectrum in the exponential assemblies. Some alternate and apparently more precise methods of analyzing the data are examined theoretical… more

Adenosinetriphosphate Cleavage During the G-Actin to F-Actin Transformation and the Binding of Adenosinetriphosphate to F-Actin

Description: Since the discovery of the Straub and Feuer as well as Laki et al. that ATP bound to G-actin is transformed to ADP and inorganic phosphate during polymerization of actin (1, 2), it has become increasingly clear that the chemical changes in the nucleotide are related to the change in the physical state of the protein. Barany, Biro, Molnar and Straub have shown that highly purified actin preparation free of any enzyme which would use ATP, ADP or AMP as a substrate still catalyze the breakdown of … more

Neutron Diffraction Studies at the Puerto Rico Nuclear Center

Description: A neutron diffraction program was initiated recently at the Puerto Rico Nuclear Center. The two double crystal spectrometers in use were assembled with the aid of staff members of the Brookhaven National Laboratory. The first research problem to be completed was a single crystal structure analysis of CaWO4. Choosing the origin at the 4(a) tungsten site in the tetragonal I41/a cell. the 16(f) oxygen parameters were found to be as follows: x=0.2413 ± 0.0005, y=0.1511 ± 0.0006, z=0.0861 ± 0.0001.… more

The Kinetics of Some Oxidation-Reduction Reactions Involving Manganese (III)

Description: The kinetics of several oxidation-reduction reactions involving manganese (III) have been studied spectrophotometrically by the use of a flow technique. The free energies of activation for the oxidation of various substituted tris-(1,10-phenanthroline) complexes of iron (II) by manganese (III) in perchloric acid and in pyrophosphoric-sulfuric acid media were found to be linearly related to the standard free energy changes of the reactions. The application of the Marcus theory to the reactions o… more

Problems of Present Day Genetics

Description: At this, the XI International Congress of Genetics, the major portion of the program has been devoted to synopsis, in which outstanding problems of modern genetics have been discussed. It required vision on the part of the Organizing Committee to conceive such a program for an international congress; and it required courage, a great deal courage, to schedule 25 symposium on a 6 meeting days. But the vision and courage have been amply rewarded. The symposia were outstanding, and have contributed… more

Organization of Genetic Material in Salmonella

Description: Evidence is rapidly accumulating that the genetic material carried in a chromosome is arranged in a highly organized manner. The nucleotides of DNA constituting a gene are grouped in sequence, like the letters of a word, and presumably each word uniformly consists of three letters. Successive words make up a sentence containing the information needed to build a protein molecule. Each word of the sentence is transcribed to form an amino acid of the protein for which the particular gene is respon… more

Cytochemistry of Delayed Radionecrosis of the Murine Spinal Cord

Description: In the vast field of radiation pathology we find pathologists, anatomists, and even physiologists busily at work, but the radiobiologist is conspicuously absent, although, according to Zirkle (1959), this field is clearly within his domain. Perhaps it is wise to take this broad hint of the scientifically so well equipped radiobiologist and to stay clear from an area in which an incalculable array of variables makes clearcut experimentation a hopeless venture, a priori. Perhaps it would be bette… more

The Photogrammetry of the Tracks of Elementary Particles in Bubble Chambers

Description: In high-energy particle physics the initial problem is to obtain information about the behavior of particles which are invisible by any known means (the radius of a proton is 10-13 cm) and which may be traveling at speeds greater than 180,000 miles per second, but at less than the speed of light. Some of the work is being done with the use of electronic counters, but the larger fraction is currently done by three techniques which employ the photographic process. These are the silver halide emul… more

Method for Comparing Small AC Voltages in the Presence of Large DC Components

Description: A feedback technique has been developed to equalize the DC levels of two signal sources so that AC signal components which are much smaller than the DC levels can be compared accurately without introducing a low frequency cut-off and consequent rate-dependency into the system. A digital integrator in the feedback loop provides a highly stable long-term "memory" so that the correct level will be maintained during intervals when the signals are "frozen" at some arbitrary point.

On the Crystal Chemistry of Salt Hydrates, II. A Neutron Diffraction Study of MgSO4·4H2O

Description: The crystal structure of MgSO4·4H2O has been refined using single crystal neutron diffraction data for the three main zones. The hydrogen positions which were found are essentially those which have been deduced from X-ray data in an earlier investigation.The mean value of the O-H bond lengths is 0.97Å. The O-H-O bonds are bent considerably. One hydrogen atom does not participate in hydrogen bonding, as can be concluded from the geometry of its surroundings and its thermal motion.
